Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers which is why I feel teenagers should not be allowed to drive. I understand that it is a “right of passage” and more of a convenience for teens instead of taking a bus or relying on mom and dad but they are dangerous to themselves and others. Teens are reckless drivers, party hard, and they are not mature enough.
Teenagers are the most reckless drivers out on the road today. Many do not yield properly, blow stop signs, and run red lights. A more common theme of reckless driving is speeding. Many teenagers feel the need to rush, rush, rush, which leads to outrageous speeds. Racing has also become common among friends on the highway or even straight roads. The biggest accident is the “fender bender” which happens while following too closely or tailgating. Inexperienced or very impatient young drivers do this often but there’s no point considering your not going to go any faster.
While in high school, every day is a different party. Even though its illegal, teenagers experiment all the time with different types of alcohol and drugs. A lot of teens feel that after having only a few drinks or so that they can drive but the truth is, that they can’t. When you drink and drive, no matter what amount you consumed, you are a danger to everyone. The most common times for teen accidents are on the weekends and between 9pm and 6am.
At age sixteen, most kids are not thinking about tomorrow, only today. The feeling of being invincible makes kids think that nothing bad can ever happen to them especially while driving recklessly. Maturity is a necessity to being a good driver and most sixteen year olds lack that, only because they are young and still learning. If your not a very mature person than pretty much any noise, any movement, or person can become a distraction. The most common distractions are cell phones, ipods/radio, and passengers. Texting while driving is one of the worst things you can do but teenagers do it anyways. Also having a car jam packed with friends is not a very good idea considering all the noise and movement.
In conclusion, teenagers should not be allowed to drive. Teen car crashes are too frequent these days because of reckless driving, partying, and maturity levels.
I heard in your essay that you focused mainly on teens and accidents and the causes of their accidents from
speeding,drugs,and being distracted.

I noticed in your essay that you are trying to make a point about when you talked about teens going to parties and drinking a lot and then driving after,texting while driving,and the fact that they are teens and think they no everything the thing that most striking was when you said maturity is a neccessity to being a good driver.
I wondered if you could have talked about some accidents more in detail,possbly more readers would have read it.
